Why Does Cancer Cause Death?(Cancer Cachexia) Cancer is a collection of cells that grow uncontrollably due to accumulated mutations. These cells no longer respond to external signals, allowing them to multiply indefinitely within the body. Cancer cells are invasive and metastatic, meaning they have the ability to spread to other parts of the body, disrupting […]
Cancer Development: Initiation and Promotion
The Process of Cancer Development: Initiation and Promotion Cancer arises when mutations accumulate, leading to uncontrolled cell growth. These cells form tissues that invade other areas and spread throughout the body, which is the essence of cancer. The process of cancer formation can be divided into two key stages: initiation and promotion. What is Cancer? […]
The Miraculous Process of Carcinogenesis: Understanding the Molecular Mechanism
The Miraculous Process of Carcinogenesis: A Molecular Perspective Cancer development is a complex process driven by genetic mutations. Understanding how cancer cells grow, adapt, and spread is crucial to comprehending the nature of cancer. Key Traits Required for Cancer Formation Accumulation of Non-lethal Genetic Damage Cancer arises through the accumulation of non-lethal genetic mutations. These […]
Difference Between Tumors and Cancer
Difference Between Tumors and Cancer Understanding the concept of cancer is essential before addressing it at the molecular level. Tumors arise from abnormal cell growth, often triggered by environmental factors. Unlike cancer, managing tumors is crucial, emphasizing the need for both control and treatment. What is a Tumor? A tumor refers to a […]
Stress Invites Cancer, Excessive Greed Leads to Metabolic Disorders
Stressful Living Invites Cancer, Excessive Greed Leads to Metabolic Disorders Cancer (malignant tumors) and cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide. Given the difficulty in treating and managing these diseases once they develop, a preventive approach is crucial. This article explores the connection between these diseases and lifestyle choices. Understanding Cancer: […]
